'Otoyomegatari' Wins Manga Taisho Award for 2014

The 2014 award list for the 7th edition of Manga Taisho, the annual Japanese Manga Award, has been announced. The award is decided by a panel of bookstore clerks who select the best title from manga series which are relatively new (have published less than 8 volumes) and have released at least one volume in the last year. The first voting round decides the nominees and the second decides the final ranking.

If I remember correctly, Otoyomegatari had been nominated several years in a row. I'm glad it got the praise it deserves. (The US librarians had already singled it out as one of the top books for teens a few years ago.)

I love Kaoru Mori's work, so even if I haven't gotten around to reading Otoyomegatari I'm sure it's an award well deserved. Glad to see Sakamoto and One-Punch Man on there too. The other titles I've never heard off but they all seem worth the read.

Wow, Japan actually has fine taste in manga.
Otoyomegatari and Boku dake ga Inai Machi are both great series, Ajin and Sakamoto desu ga are good , too. There are also some interesting non-translated manga series there...

One Punch-Man is 7th?! Are you kidding me?! One of the best in years to come out! Oh well! I don't know about any other manga in the list so don't know what to complain about :/

I won't go as far as saying that every man out there should aspire to become like Saitama and every woman out there should aspire to become his woman. Enough said! You don't know what you are missing if you aren't reading this manga!

I still haven't read any of those Manga in that list.
The only Manga that I know from that list are Otoyomegatari, Nanatsu no Taizai, One Punch-Man, Ajin, and Sakamoto desu ga?
I added Boku dake ga Inai Machi and Sayonara Tama-chan (I can feel the author's pain).
Otoyomegatari needs an Anime adaption already, with the same art of course!!!
